The Howells-Dodge Jaguars defeated Omaha Nation 80-28 at home last Friday night.
Howells-Dodge led 32-0 after one and outscored the Chiefs 18-12 in the second quarter to lead 50-12 at halftime.
The Jaguars doubled up Omaha Nation 16-8 in the third quarter to go up 66-20 at the end of three.
Howells-Dodge won the fourth quarter 14-8.
Jordan Brichacek had 189 yards rushing on 12 carries, and scored 5 touchdowns. Josh Brester carried the ball 14 times for 78 yards, and scored once.
Dax VanLengen was 3-5 passing for 95 yards with an interception.
Zach Bayer hauled in all 3 passes for 95 yards.
The Jaguars racked up 482 yards of total offense, 367 coming on the ground.
This was a very impressive win for Howells-Dodge, in my opinion. I really thought the Jaguars played an exceptional game offensively.
Howells-Dodge (2-1) is at Neligh-Oakdale (3-0) Friday night.
The Warriors downed Clearwater/Orchard 41-8 last time out, and have also had a week off to prepare for this game.
As nice as the off week probably was for the Jaguars, they don't really benefit from it in any way.
With Neligh-Oakdale also having last week off, both teams have had an equal amount of preparation time for one another, which should make for a great game.
I look for both teams to have a few tricks up their sleeve.
It wouldn't surprise me if both teams tried a trick play or two in this game just to try and throw the other team off.
Both teams figure to be tested in a big way in this game so I look for both to gain whatever advantage and edge they can.
Howells-Dodge's offensive line is going to need to open up big holes again this week like they did against Omaha Nation.
The Warriors knocked off the Chiefs 72-12 when the two teams played so both were certainly on top of their game when they played Omaha Nation.
I feel this game could go either way. The game being in Neligh really benefits the Warriors I think, but then again the Jaguars are no stranger to winning tough games on the road.
I really think Howells-Dodge will be in this game for four quarters and give themselves a chance to win at the end.
It wouldn't surprise me if the Jaguars won, but I could see Howells-Dodge losing this game as well.
I don't think it's a slam dunk either way as to which team will win.
The Jaguars won a big game at East Butler to open the season though so it's certainly possible for Howells-Dodge to win another big game on the road.
I feel this game could very well decide who wins the district title.
